You've already got an answer to the cron question - I'd just like to
comment on the "synching with time server" bit. IMO, if you intend to
synch your machine on an ongoing basis, the better way to do this is to
have a look at time keeping daemons like xntp(sp?) or chrony as these
programs were specifically made for such a task.
I myself am using chrony for this and I'm quite content. If you'd like
to have a look at it you can check its home page at:
